subsidiary n. 子公司;附属机构

 

subsidiary是一个比较常见的词汇,可以被翻译为子公司或者"附属机构",亦作"subsidiary corporation/company "。子公司的大部分股份或者全部股份为另一家公司(如母公司,其英文表达是"parent” 或者“parent corporation/company”)所控制。

 

 "Affiliate" means any person or company that directly or indirectly controls a Party or is directly or indirectly controlled by a Party, including a Party's parent or subsidiary, or is under direct or indirect common control with such Party.

【参考译文】 “关联公司”指直接或间接控制一方(包括其母公司或子公司)或受一方直接或间接控制,或与该方共同受直接或间接控制的任何人或公司。

 

辨析|subsidiaryaffiliate

subsidiary affiliate均有附属公司或分公司的含义,均指具有法人地位的子公司。

 

affiliate与母公司联系松散,主要特征是参股直接或间接拥有5%5%以上具有表决权的股份,不为母公司控股故可译为“联营公司”或“横向联合公司”;subsidiary与母公司联系较紧密,多受母公司控股,是严格意义上的子公司;

 

Party B may, without the consent of Party A, assign in whole, but not in part, its rights hereunder to any subsidiary, affiliate or successor entity of Party B or its ultimate parent company (provided that any such assignment to any such subsidiary shall not be deemed as a release of Party B's obligations hereunder unless Party A shall have given prior written consent to any such release and Party B shall remain liable to Party A in respect of any breach of this Clause).

【参考译文】乙方可以无须经甲方同意,将其在本协议项下的全部(而不是部分)权利让与乙方的任何子公司、关联公司或继承实体或其最终母公司(但是向任何该等子公司进行转让,不应被视为解除乙方在本协议项下的义务,除非甲方已事先书面同意予以解除,且乙方若违反本条规定仍须对甲方负有责任)。

 

 It is understood and agreed specifically by the parties to this Agreement that Party B shall be an independent contractor, and that nothing in this Agreement or in the performance of any of its provisions is intended or shall be construed to constitute either party an agent, legal representative, subsidiary, joint venture, partner, employer, or employee of the other for any purpose whatsoever.

【参考译文】本协议双方特别理解并同意,乙方是一个独立承包人,本协议的任何内容或本协议任何条款的旅行,无意表示、亦不应被理解为任何一方为任何目的可以充当另一方的代理人、法定代表、子公司、合营方、合作伙伴、雇主或雇员。
